Winter Wonderland

It's here in the office already.

I'm not from Texas

I have two of them.



One even with box and assembly instructions.

Google Sky Map - on Android

I've finally left the Sidekick era and moved on to a new "smartphone". While I'll probably always be an Apple person at heart I was able to get a much better deal on a Motorola Cliq with T-Mobile.

The Cliq runs the Android OS and so far I have no regrets. There are lots of fun goodies to play with. Tonight I tried out Google Sky Map:



It's kind of weird to hold your phone up to the sky and point it at things to see what they are. It really works though... pretty cool.

This is how I roll...



Thanks Sarrah!

Bimbo!

Bimbo!



This one got a lot of play when I had my first record player. I hope to resurrect it along with Blinky The Lighthouse Ship sometime soon.

Geometron

I had to erase my dry-erase board this morning. This Geometron has been with us for several years. He has now been saved for posterity by Jeff's iPhone.



(All Geometrons carry ice-picks.)

Testing

You don't want to be in that box...trust me.

Saturday Tiki Find - Aloha!

This was a pretty good Goodwill find yesterday:



A nice Trader Vic's Aloha coconut mug. I don't have any exactly like this one.



I have a version of a Trader Vic's coconut mug that just has "Trader Vic's" inscribed on the bottom and no words on the sides: See this older post

Then I have another version of the mug that just has "Aloha" and "Trader Vic's" (no "Since 1934") on the side with "Trader Vic's" inscribed on the bottom: See this older post

This one has a "Trader Vic's" stamped in black paint on the bottom. I couldn't really get a good picture of the bottom but there are some good examples on Ooga Mooga.

I need to do some more research and see if I can put these in chronological order.

Coupon Of The Day

I had a REALLY GOOD coupon at Publix today.



They canceled it though. :(

(They actually missed the coupon altogether after trying to figure out what happened and reverse it... it was only $0.70 or so and it was the cashiers first day or something. I had $0.70 worth of fun watching them try to figure it out and asking to be paid in twenty's. )
